Overview

  • Head coach Mike Elko said Moss sustained an ankle injury that will sideline him for a significant stretch but will not end his season.
  • Elko noted the injury is unrelated to Moss’s 2024 torn ACL and MCL, confirming the issue is confined to the ankle.
  • Moss left the Florida win in the second quarter after five carries for 46 yards, including a 22-yard touchdown run.
  • Through six games he leads the Aggies with 70 carries for 389 yards and six touchdowns, underscoring the impact of his absence.
  • Rueben Owens II becomes the primary back with Amari Daniels and Jamarion Morrow in support, as evaluations continue and A&M begins a three-game road swing starting at Arkansas.
